We Went to the Park with Matina and Anthony Today

Our new friends, Maina, and her 4 year old son, Anthony, came over to our house today. The boys played with trains while we caught up over coffee in the morning. We walked along the river and went to the park in the early afternoon and then went back to our place for a late lunch and more Thomas the Train time. It was in the 80's today - already - so I figured we especially needed to get out and do this before it gets too hot to want to walk around outside. I will probably continue to take Toby to the park long after that anyway, because we spent last Summer in Fresno, and I'm crazy like that. Anyway, it was a beautiful day. (Since Anthony was on his bike, we shortened the trip from our usual 5 mile loop to the actual distance between our house and the park; 1.5 miles each way. We also took things slow - took a lot of breaks for snacks and flower picking - and that kind of thing.)

Another week, another 30 miles

Here's my weekly log, in case you aren't completely bored by these posts yet. I feel like my fitness is improving, but my weight has stayed the same this week.

Monday – 5 mile stroller walk along the river

Tuesday – 5 miles on the treadmill. I soooo need a new sports bra.

Wednesday - 5 miles on the treadmill with Motion Traxx podcast – it rocks! Awesome workout. The miles just flew by. Someone in the fitness center even commented on my rhythm. She said that she noticed my improvement and that I have great rhythm. I felt like jogging another 5 miles after that!

Thursday - Night off. Bought sports bras, groceries, and watched a movie with Oliver.

Friday - 5 miles on the treadmill

Saturday – 5 miles on the treadmill

Sunday – 4 miles on the treadmill 1 mile walking, possibly more – 5 miles. The techno music is already getting boring. I listened to Vegan Freak Radio podcast tonight in addition to Motion Traxx, and that was awesome. The treadmill I was on was having technical difficulties – after it switched off twice, randomly, in the middle of my run, I gave up on it – and switched to the elliptical machine, which I didn’t do for very long either. I had already jogged and walked over 4 miles, but since the stupid treadmill kept turning off, I’m really not sure what my mileage was tonight - but definitely over 4, and probably closer to 5.

Total miles: 30
